“Some of the proverbs I hear locally...”
Some of the proverbs I hear locally are "Morning brings councils."
There was a man who went into a shop for medicine for a cure, and he mistook a "y" for an "i" and he got the wrong medicine. When he drank it, it killed him. The people say it was "Snalies mistake.
Some people when they get any medicine for a cure refer to "Snalies Cure". Another saying I hear locally is "A good word never broke a person's mouth" and also "Life is made for pleasure". The windy day is not the day for thatching.
